You're looking for Manu or Weird Harold. I don't know anything about it.

Assuming you have IE 5.0, which is what I use, here's what I'd check first (because I had a problem which sounds like the one you're having, and this fixed it).

Go to Tools ===> Internet Options. Click on the "Advanced" tab. Scroll down to the Multimedia section until you see the two checkboxes marked "Show Pictures" and "Smart Image Dithering". Check both of them, then click OK.

That may fix it for you.

It might. Have you had your computer on the whole time youv'e been having the problem? If so, a simple reboot might do the trick.

Is this problem limited to Lit, or are you having similar problems with opening new windows at other sites?

Does it eventually time out and give you the "this page can't be displayed" message or just hang forever?

I suspect your problem is temporary. However, if it persists, do a virus scan, and check for background programs which might be hogging system resources. (does opening IE take a long time when you first start browsing?)

Can you use right-click/"save picture as" to save the pictures to disk for later viewing?

There are so many things that can cause this type of problem that it's really difficult to diagnose by remote control.

The Av is a picture of the "Dirty Old Man" doll my daughters got me for Father's Day because it reminded them of me.)
